What do I actually need to begin?
Start with comfortable clothing and a clear, stable space. A mat can define your practice area; blocks and straps are optional. Borrow or try equipment before building a larger setup.
How do I choose gear for a small space?
Measure your available floor area and storage first. A rollable mat, two stackable blocks, and a strap are easy to put away. Leave enough room around you to move freely.
